Singing Workshop
Immersive sound & singing with Songbird Sessions
Join Kelly and Gemma for a 3-hour sound and singing workshop designed to invigorate your body, mind and spirit. The day will begin with a special brew to warm your heart and voice and then we invite you to take part in an immersive sound and singing workshop. You will explore posture, breathing, sound meditation and gentle singing as part of a group and the retreat will culminate in a guided sound meditation walk through the timeless pastures of Green Farm.
The benefits of music and singing are well documented. Not only is singing good for your physical health, but evidence shows that listening to and participating in music plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system too. The release of endorphins combined with the tranquil surroundings of Green Farm will be sure to nourish you on all levels.
This retreat is accessible to everyone, and adjustments will be made to suit your needs. An ability to sing is irrelevant, but an appreciation of music and sound is welcome.
